Physics Teaching Qualification

Physics is the study of natural processes and is therefore an exact natural science. Natural processes are recorded in experiments through quantitative measurements and represented mathematically in the form of general laws. Physics teachers pass on physics-related knowledge and skills to students and are tasked with igniting their interest in science. This requires a solid grasp of the fundamental laws of physics and an overview of the basics of physics.

In order to gain a teaching qualification as a high school teacher, a Bachelor's degree must be followed by a Master of Education degree.
